Halo 4

[Tarvis]

Apparently reviews are GREAT so far. I guess that's good.

As far as I know only Logan and me are getting this game for definite. Most likely Andrew and Chris will be too, but since neither post here that's kinda MOOT.

I'm hoping this time you jerks won't ditch me midway through the co-op campaign.

Also griffball.

 

[Oobs]

I will probably get it, it looks amazing

 

[Tarvis]

If Oobs and Andrew get it, we will definitely have to play griffball.

 

[SuperAfroBoy]

I will definitely not be getting it.

 

[Tarvis]

I hear griffball is super lame now.

 

[Oobs]

I hear griffball is super lame now.

They have changed it a bit to make it accessable to everyone, one thing I know is that you can pass the ball

 

[Tarvis]

I don't like the dumbing down that seems to be happening to everything. Video games, computers, etc. I thought the original was pretty easy to pick up and play. The original was great, and I'm not sure why the keep messing with the formula and taking it away from what it was to basically a basketball match with hammers. Passing seems as awful as making the ball carrier slower and weaker.

 

[Logan]

Pretty sure that ball holder travels at mach speed now and has overshields/damage resistance like hte old days.

 

[Tarvis]

But can he punch people to death in 1 hit?

 

[Oobs]

But can he punch people to death in 1 hit?

Yes

 

[Tarvis]

great!

 

[scrappy]

i will be getting it eventually. probably a couple months from now

 

[Dave]

Yeah, I'll grab it.

I thought the multiplayer was becoming the sci-fi Call of Duty, but the combination of some of the old material with some new tweaks actually makes it look pretty good.

I'm iffy about how they've tweaked griff ball but their biggest goal in Halo 4's multiplayer is to try to keep players, regardless of what they're doing, invested in the game. In other words, even if I have the ball or the flag in Capture the Flag, I can stay on top of the leaderboards because the game still offers me the chance to kill everyone I see instead of being protected.

After playing Campaign and slayer, I've never felt more lost in a game.

WHATS GOING ON is my motto for this game.

Halo feels like the kind of game I should like, but for the life of me I can't get into it.

[Oobs]

but is it good?

 

[Tarvis]

I'm not the biggest halo fan, but everyone seems to like it. Graphics are pretty awesome, especially compared to the past halos.

 

[Logan]

I dunno if it was my internet or what, but god damn did the CAMPAIGN CO OP LAG. Unplayable last night! Multiplayer is fun.

Look at that traivs swan dive
